About This Home
Set on five private acres in the foothills of San Luis Obispo, this custom estate blends privacy, refined scale, and sweeping views with a lifestyle designed for both quiet retreat and effortless entertaining. Thoughtfully updated and filled with natural light, the home offers over 5,000 sq ft of living space that flows seamlessly to the outdoors—every room except the bathrooms opens directly to fresh air, terraces, or the pool area. A rebuilt grand staircase, cathedral ceilings, and eight-foot doors introduce a sense of timeless simplicity and calm. Expansive windows frame 180 vistas of rolling hills and city lights, while French doors throughout the home create an easy indoor-outdoor rhythm suited to gatherings, family life, or peaceful evenings at home. The floorplan provides exceptional flexibility: multiple living areas, three fireplaces, and en-suite bedrooms with private outdoor access. The primary suite features a dual-sided fireplace, spacious walk-in closet, a private study, and an additional flex room ideal as an office or nursery. A spacious, full guest suite with its own kitchen offers ideal accommodations for extended family or long-term guests. An elevator connects the 3-car garage to the main level for daily convenience. Recent updates include fresh interior and exterior paint, refinished hardwood floors, new bedroom carpet, and clean reports on the private well and septic. Added features include owned solar, RV hookups, A/C-ready infrastructure, and 5/8" drywall for enhanced sound control and energy efficiency. Outdoors, the southwest-facing pool and spa capture golden hour beautifully, offering a setting equally suited to lively gatherings or unwinding at the end of the day. With gentle acreage, expansive views, and proximity to downtown SLO, Edna Valley wineries, and coastal trails, this estate offers a rare balance of privacy, connection, and everyday ease on the Central Coast. Two public open houses opening weekend. Showings by appointment only thereafter.
